With over 35 years of dedicated experience as a premier UK hospitality wholesaler, Supply2Hotels provides the catering trade with heavy-duty textiles built to withstand the rigours of commercial service. Our selection of front-of-house cloths and gloves supports safety, presentation, and daily kitchen-to-table efficiency.
Waiter's cloths (sometimes called service cloths) are primarily used to protect the hands of service staff when handling and carrying hot plates, trays, and serving dishes. They also play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and high hygiene standards during food service.
The best material is high-density 100% cotton. Cotton naturally offers excellent durability, reliable thermal protection against hot dinnerware, and the ability to withstand the frequent, high-temperature commercial laundering required in the hospitality industry.
Heat-resistant waiter's gloves provide a direct layer of thermal protection when serving exceptionally hot plates or handles. Beyond physical safety, they enhance hygiene by reducing bare-hand contact with tableware and contribute to an elegant, high-end presentation in luxury restaurants.
To uphold strict food safety guidelines and maintain a professional look, waiter's cloths should be laundered after every shift, or replaced immediately if they become visibly soiled, damp, or stained during service.
